Operating Instructions July 2009 Edition

The ADS 50/5 is a powerful servoamplifier fordriving permanent magnet DC motors up to250 Watts.Four modes can be selected by DIP switcheson the board:

• Speed control using tacho signals

• Speed control using encoder signals

• IxR compensated speed control

• Torque or current control

The ADS 50/5 is protected against excess

current,excess temperature and short circuit on themotor winding. With the FET power transis-tors incorporated in the servoamplifier, anefficiency of up to 95 % is achieved. A built inmotor choke combined with the high PWMfrequency of 50 kHz allows the connection ofmotors with a very low inductivity. In mostcases an external choke can be omitted.Thanks to the wide input power supply range of 12 - 50 VDC, the ADS 50/5 is very versatile and can be usedwith various power supplies. The aluminium housing makes installation simple, with terminal markings for easyconnection.

4 Operating Instructions

4.1 Determine power supply requirements

You may make use of any available power supply, as long as it meets the mi-

nimal requirements spelled out below.During set up and adjustment phases, we recommend separating the motormechanically from the machine to prevent damage due to uncontrolled motion.

Power supply requirements

Output voltage VCC min. 12 VDC; max. 50 VDC

Ripple < 5 %

Output current depending on load, continuous 5 A(short-time 10 A)

The required voltage can be calculated as follows:Known values Operating torque MB [mNm]

4.3 Adjustment of the Potentiometers

4.3.1 Pre-adjustment

With the pre-adjustment, the potentiometers are set in a preferred position. ADS units in original packing are already pre-adjusted.

Pre-adjustment of potentiometers

P1 IxR 0 %

P2 Offset 50 %

P3 nmax 50 %

P4 Imax 50 %

P5 gain 10 %

4.3.2 Adjustment

Encoder modeDC-Tacho mode

1. Adjust set value to maximum (e.g. 10 V) and turn potentiometer P3 nmaxso far that the required speed is achieved.

IxR compensation 2. Set potentiometer P4 Imax

at the limiting value desired.Maximum current in the 0 ... 10 A range can be adjusted in linear fashion

with potentiometer P4.Important: The limiting value lmax should be below the nominal current(max. continuous current) as shown on the motor data sheet and maynot exceed 5 A continuously.

3. Increase potentiometer P5 gain slowly until the amplification is set largeenough.Caution: If the motor vibrates or becomes loud, the amplification is adjusted too high.

4. Adjust set value to 0 V, e.g. by short circuiting the set value. Then set the

motor speed to 0 rpm with the potentiometer P2 Offset.

In addition, only in the case of lxR compensation:

5. Slowly increase potentiometer P1 IxR until the compensation is set largeenough so that in the case of high motor load the motor speed remainsthe same or decreases only slightly.Caution: If the motor vibrates or becomes loud, the amplification is adjusted too high.

Current controller mode 1. Set potentiometer P4 lmax at the limiting value desired.Maximum current in the 0 ... 10 A range can be adjusted in linear fashion

with potentiometer P4.Important: The limiting value lmax should be below the nominal current(max. continuous current) as shown in the motor data sheet and may notexceed 5 A continuously.

2. Adjust set value to 0 V. Then set the motor current to 0 A with the poten-

tiometer P2 Offset.

Note

• A set value in the -10 ... +10 V range is equal to a current range of approx.+Imax ... -Imax

• Configured as a current controller, P1, P3 and P5 are not activated.

5 Functions

5.1 Inputs

5.1.1 Set value

The set value input is wired as a differential amplifier.

Input voltage range -10 ... +10 V

Input circuit differential

Input resistance 20 kΩ (differential)

Positive set value ( + Set value) > ( - Set Value)

negative motor voltage or currentmotor shaft turns CCW

Negative set value ( + Set value) < ( - Set Value)

positive motor voltage or currentmotor shaft turns CW

5.1.2 Enable

If a voltage is given at “Enable”, the servoamplifier switches the motor voltage tothe winding connections. If the “Enable” input is not switched on or is connectedto the Gnd, the power stage will be highly resistant and will be disabled.The “Enable” input is short-circuit protected.

Enable Minimum input voltage + 4.0 VDC

Maximum input voltage + 50 VDC

Input resistance 15 kΩ

Switching time typ 500 µs (by 5 V)

Disable Minimum input voltage 0 VDCMaximum input voltage + 2.5 VDC


Switching time typ 100 µs (by 0 V)

5.1.3 DC Tacho

Minimum input voltage 2.0 V

Maximum input voltage 50 V


Speed control range:

The speed range is set using Potentiometer P3 nmax (max. speed at maximumset value).For full speed control with ± 10 V, the tacho input voltage range must be at least±2 V.

Example for DC-Tacho with 0.52 V / 1000 rpm:2.0 V tacho voltage is equivalent to a speed of approx. 3850 rpm. If the full setvalue range has been used, the lowest adjustable speed with the nmax potenti-ometer is 3850 rpm.Lower speed ranges can be reached through a reduced set value range or byusing a DC tacho with a higher output voltage, such as 5 V / 1000 rpm.

5.1.4 Encoder

Encoder supply voltage + 5 VDC max. 80 mA

Maximum encoder frequency DIP switch S5 ON: 10 kHz

DIP switch S5 OFF: 100 kHz

Voltage value TTLlow max. 0.8 V

high min. 2.0 V

It is strongly recommended that the encoder be used with a built-in line driver.If the encoder is used without a line driver (without ChA\ and ChB\), speedbreakdowns and max. speed limits must be expected because of the slowerswitching slope.

The servoamplifier does not need any home impulse I and I\.

5.2 Outputs

5.2.1 Current monitor “Monitor I”

The servoamplifier makes a current actual value available for monitoring pur-poses. The signal is proportional to the motor current.

The “Monitor I” output is short-circuit protected.Output voltage range -10 ... +10 VDC

Output resistance 100 Ω

Gradient approx. 0.8 V/A

positive voltage on current monitoroutput

corresponds to a negative motorcurrent

negative voltage on current monitoroutput

corresponds to a positive motorcurrent

5.2.2 Speed monitor “Monitor n”

The speed monitor is primarily intended for the qualitative estimation of the dy-

namics. The absolute speed is determined by the properties of the speed sen-sors and by the setting of the nmax potentiometer. The output voltage of thespeed monitor is proportional to the number of revolutions. The output voltageof the speed monitor is 10 V when the maximum number of revolutions set bythe nmax potentiometer has been reached.The “Monitor n” output is short-circuit protected.

Output voltage range -10 ... +10 VDC

Output resistance 100 Ω

Example: -10 V corresponding speed -nmax (CCW)0 V corresponding speed 0 rpm

+10 V corresponding speed +nmax (CW)

5.2.3 Status reading “Ready”

The “Ready” signal can be used to report the state of operational readiness or afault condition on a master control unit. The “Open Collector” output is, in nor-mal cases, i.e., no faults, switched to Gnd. In the case of a fault due to excesstemperature, excess current, voltage processing error or too high encoder inputfrequency, the output transistor is disabled.

An external additional voltage is required:

Input voltage range max. 30 VDC

Load current ≤ 20 mA

The fault condition is stored. In order to reset the fault condition, the servoampli-fier must be re-released (Enable). If the cause of the fault situation cannot be

removed, the output transistor will immediately change to the not conductingstate again.

6.1 Adjustments potentiometer P6 ngain

and potentiometer P7 Igain

In most applications, regulation setting is completely satisfactory using potentio-

meters P1 to P5. In special cases the transient response can be optimized by

setting the P6 “speed regulation gain” potentiometer. The P7 “current regulatorgain” potentiometer can, in addition, be adapted to the dynamics of the currentregulator.

It is recommend that the success of changes to the settings of P6 ngain and P7

Igain

be checked by measuring the transient response with an oscilloscope at the“Monitor n” and “Monitor I” outputs.

Pre-adjustment P6 ngain = 25 % and P7

Igain = 40 %.

6.2 Adjustments potentiometer P8 Icont

and current limit mode DIP switch S6

It is standard that a maximum current limiter is activated (DIP switch S6 OFF).

In this way the motor current is limited to the value set on potentiometer P4 Imax

(0.5 ... 10 A).

If DIP switch S6 is turned to ON, a cyclical current limiter is also activated. Thiscurrent limiter method makes a certain level of motor protection against thermaloverload possible.For 0.1 seconds the motor current is limited to the value set on potentiometer

P4 Imax

(0.5 ... 10 A) and then for 0.9 seconds current is limited to the value set

on potentiometer P8 Icont

(0.5 ... 10 A). After one second the cycle will repeat it-self.

Pre-adjustment P8 Icont

= 50%.

7.3 LED shines red

According to the blink pattern the following error messages can be identified:

Blink pattern (red LED) Operating Conditions

If the power stage temperature ex-ceeds a limit of approx. 90°C, thepower stage is switches off (disablestatus).

If a motor current of more than ap-prox. +/- 12.5 A is detected at thecurrent actual value, the power stagewill be switched off (disable status).

If the internal supply voltage cannotbe set-up as expected the poweramplifier is switched off (disablestatus).

If the input frequency at the encoderinput is > 150 kHz, the power ampli-fier is switched off.

The fault condition is stored. In order to reset the fault condition, the servoampli-fier must be re-released (Enable). If the cause of the fault condition cannot beeliminated, the error output will be disabled again immediately.

Reason:

• High ambient temperature (blink pattern)

• max. continuous current > 5 A (blink pattern)

• bad convection (blink pattern)

• Short circuit on the motor winding (blink pattern)

9 EMC-compliant installation

Power supply (+VCC

- Power Gnd)

• No shielding normally required.

• Star point-shaped wiring if several amplifiers are supplied by the same power supply.

Motor cable

• Shielded cable highly recommended.

• Connect shielding on both sides:

ADS 50/5 side: Terminal 3 “Ground Safety Earth” and/or bottom of housing.

Motor side: Motor housing or with motor housing mechanical design with low resis-tive connection.

• Use separate cable.

Encoder cable

• Although the ADS 50/5 can also be operated without a line driver, using an encoder with aline driver is recommended as this improves interference resistance.


• Use separate cable.

Analogue signals (Set value, Tacho, Monitor)


• Use cable shielding with analogue signals with small signal level and electromagneticallyharsh environment.

• Normally connect shielding on both sides. Place shielding on one side if there are 50/60Hz interference problems.

Digital signals (Enable, Ready)

• No shielding necessary.

See also block diagram in chapter 10.

In practical terms, only the complete equipment, comprising all individual components (mo-tor, amplifier, power supply unit, EMC filter, cabling etc.) can undergo an EMC test to ensureinterference-free CE-approved operation.
